MCCOLL I met my girl at
Woolwich Pier
Beneath the big cranes standing
And oh, the love
I felt for her
It passed all understanding
Took her sailing on the river
Flow sweet river, flow
London town was mine to give her
Sweet Thames flow softly
Made the Thames into a crown
Flow sweet river, flow
Made a brooch of
Silver town
Sweet Thames flow softly
At London
Yard I held her hand
At Blackwall
Point I faced her
At the Isle of
Dogs I kissed her mouth
And tenderly embraced her
Heard the bells of
Greenwich ringing,
Flow . . .
All the time
I had was singing,
Sweet Thames . . .
Lighthouse
Reach I gave her there,
Flow . . .
As a ribbon for her hair,
Sweet Thames . . .
From Putney
Bridge to
Nine Elms
Reach We cheek to cheek were dancing
Her necklace made of
London Bridge
Her beauty was enhancing
Kissed her once again at
Wapping, Flow . . .
After that there was no stopping,
Sweet Thames . . .
Gave her Hampton
Court to twist,
Flow . . .
Into a bracelet for her wrist,
Sweet Thames . . .
But now alas the tide has changed
My love she has gone from me
And winter's frost has touched my heart
And put a blight upon me
Creeping fog is on the river,
Flow . . .
Sun and moon and stars gone with her,
Sweet Thames . . .
Swift the
Thames runs to the sea,
Flow . . .
Bearing ships and part of me,
Sweet Thames . . .
